Show-cause notices to 50 Rajasthan hospitals for low urology packages
50 Hospitals Warned Over Urology Treatment Denial to RGHS Beneficiaries
Jaipur: Fifty hospitals across Rajasthan have been issued show-cause notices by the Rajasthan State Health Assurance Agency (RSHAA) for booking significantly lower urology-related treatment packages under the Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS).
The agency has warned that failure to provide a satisfactory response may result in these hospitals being de-panelled from the scheme.

Atal further noted that some hospitals and urology associations have raised concerns about the current package rates, demanding an increase. However, he clarified that the existing RGHS rates are aligned with those under the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), and therefore, refusing treatment on the grounds of package pricing is unjustified.

Gayatri Rathore, Principal Secretary of the Medical and Health Department, stated that the Medical and Health Department is continuously taking necessary steps towards the smooth functioning of the RGHS scheme. Necessary action has been taken by taking timely decisions on matters including payments to hospitals, package rates, and other matters. She stated that it is being ensured that all stakeholders, including the beneficiaries of the scheme, do not face any problems. However, if any hospital refuses to provide treatment without a valid reason, action will be taken as per the rules, reports Amarujala.
